Publisher's summary

Tobias Hawke was the tech genius boss of the British Institute for Deep Learning. Now his body has been found in his lab: he has been brutally murdered.

Hawke was on the brink of an astonishing breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence. His creation, 'Syd', a machine-learning device that mimics human thought, promised to change the face of humanity forever. But, in the wake of her creator's murder, Syd has gone into emergency shutdown procedure. What secrets are her neural networks hiding?

Michael North, ex-assassin and spy-for-hire, is the man to find out. But he can't work alone. Teenage hacker Fangfang and Hawke's widow, a prize-winning ethicist, have their own reasons to solve the murder. But can they uncover the truth before it's too late?

I wish I would have liked it

I not sure where to start of start on this review. Everything was within the book, I just didn't care for. I don't think I care for the characters was the main reason for not enjoying this book. Interesting ending but for the most part the plot was over the top and, again, I had no feelings for the characters at all. If there is a sequel, I don't think I will bother listening to it. It wasn't that the book was not well written, it just didn't trip my trigger and pull me in and leave me waiting for the next installment.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
